the GSM equivalent of the EVO 3D , gimme 4.3 screen + notification light and dual core, 3d is a bonus! the others lack some of the above and I trust neither moto nor LG, the galaxy S2 came close though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] biobyte:
still dont know what ill will pick then again im getting a new phone in december will see wats out by then :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Noy[ah]:
Moved from Hero to DHD and sure its faster but nothing new :(

Question is how much faster is Dual Core vs say DHD?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
Depends what activity, e.g. Tegra Games will most likely look better, web browsing is likely to be slightly quick and smoother and battery life should be better.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dully79:
The main problem with dual cores is there isn't any software to get the best out of it just now.

Even though benchmark tests look pretty impressive, I'll wait getting one until the software is available. And hopefully by then the phone of choice will be rooted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TA123:
Does anyone know release dates for Sansung and LG dual core phones in the UK?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExMM:
You read my mind! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frittenpiekse:
Got my LG Optimus 2X now and i could say it's a new experience :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idlerpt:
i'll bought a lg 2x, if i get a good deal :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] player1o1:
Dual-core is not utilized to the full right now, only apps coded specifically to thread processes can reap the benefits. I think the upcoming OS version Ice Cream Sandwich supports two or more cores.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Habarug:
My next phone will have at least dual core, but I will keep my Hero for another year (thanks to Elelinux, Erasmux and the others who keep my Hero alive :D)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
Hey guys. I have a problem and not sure how to go about this. My Evo was at 2.2 rooted for a long while and all of a sudden it started acting up. It would always freeze and had to be rebooted constantly. So I had a back that I went back to successfully but it is at 2.1 now (Baseband 2.15.00.09.01)

Now I'm not getting the OTA update to 2.2. I go into HTC software update and it says no available updates for my phone.

So how do I get to 2.2 or 2.3 rooted?

FYI after going into bootlaoder and choosing Recovery, I get Clockworkmod Recovery. Is this normal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You need to flash the stock rooted ROM for the latest OTA update. I would suggest trying out some different Roms, though. That's the best part of rooting.

And ClockworkMod is the most popular recovery for the Evo, so yeah that's probably right.

Sounds like the perfect time to throw CM7 on there and see what you think about AOSP Gingerbread. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
You are speaking a different language to me lool. I'm new to this so I don't know exactly what your talking about or how to go about doing that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
It's pretty easy actually. Once you have root again (if you don't already), go to http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic and download either the newest nighly (30) or RC2 to your memory card.

Boot into Clockwork and go to backup and restore, and choose nandroid backup or backup (I'm not using clockwork, so I don't know the exact verbiage). Once the backup is complete, do a full system wipe by clicking on wipe data/factory reset.

Once that is done, choose install zip from sdcard, scroll down to cm_supersonic_full-30.zip and select it. It will install and then ask you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot.

Once your phone is up and running again, you'll want to get back into recovery so that you can flash GoogleApps, which you can find here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/.

You'll flash these just like you did CyanogenMod 7 a minute ago, although you will want to wipe your cache and dalvik cache (which is located under "advanced" in the Clockwork menu) first.

All you have to do then is boot back up, go through the walkthrough to set up your google account, and then you'll be running (close to) stock Gingerbread 2.3.

If you need any help, feel free to ask.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
Awesome!!! Thanks blackroseMD1!! I'll give it a try when I get home from work tonight. I'm not rooted right now. The last time I rooted I used unrevoked because it was so easy. Would that be good enough to get the process rolling?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
I'd actually use the link that CheesyNutz posted up there. Universal Auto Root works better than Unrevoked, from what I've heard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
Ok thanks. I'll try that and will keep you updated. Hopefully I have enough time tonight to do this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
Shouldn't take long. Probably a half hour, tops, not counting download times. Let me know if you have any issues, and I'll see what I can do to help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
I really appreciate your help. I just bought a xoom so I want wireless tethering working on my evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
So you're good to go now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
blackroseMD1...I just followed your instructions and I'm up and running on CM7. Wow its so different then what I had before. You are the man!!! Thanks a lot for your help and everyone elses input in this thread.

I was scared going in, but wow was it easy to do. Thanks again to everyone and the hard work you put in to provide us noobs with a great experience
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
Awesome! Glad to hear it man. Everyone should take an AOSP rom out for a spin at least once, and CM7 is the best one out there. If you have any questions about it, feel free to hit me up. Glad I could help. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
Yea it looks great and loving the change so far

One last question. Is there a tethering app built into CM7 or do I need to get wireless tether from the marketplace?

Edit...Nevermind I think I found it right underneath bluetooth settings
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, built in tethering works fine. Seems like you found it. Enjoy Gingerbread. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
Many recommend wiping data/factory reset (which I know was suggested and you've done), but also cache and dalvik BEFORE flashing any new ROM. Also, with CM, is it not suggested that you use Format_All?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
I only started using Format All recently, and never had any trouble before that with just a factory reset. Different phones react differently though...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
another question is voicemail is not working. I get a text message saying Android has sent younansprint voice message and to call a number. Then it has this long string of letters and numbers. So how do inset this up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackroseMD1:
Your best bet is to use YouMail, which is free in the market. It's a lot like Sprint's Visual VoiceMail that you have on Sense roms, but with more features. I use it, and I love it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RileyGrant:
If he has cwm im guessing hes already rooted? And ya, do what Blackrose said, dont do a full wipe before flashing the google apps though, only before flashing the CyanogenMod7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawaf88:
cool. You mail works perfect. Thanks guys!

[Nook Color General] acomiskey:
Rooted stock eclair. It's doing everything I need it to do right now....no need to change just yet. Slingplayer and Youtube for me, angry birds and nook kids books for my son.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
CM7 nightlies.

I have tried quite a few of the other Roms and appreciate all the work involved, but CM works better than anything else for me.

And by the time it hits stable.....yeah, a great piece of work.

Navigating with GPS and Google in my car on a big screen....

Streaming video (still choppy but getting BETTER)

Web browsing

And the occasional game, of course.
[Nook Color General] wmadan:
I am running Nookie Froyo because it is more stable for me than CM7 at the moment.
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
stock rooted eclair

tried phiremod but 3 hr battery life is a no go.

tried HC but didn't have market and haven't tried to add market to try again

stock kernel too. the OC ones make my nook very laggy
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Running Nookie Froyo on eMMC using an older OC kernel (2.6.29-omap1 erik@myhost #44). VERY stable, albeit without interactive govenor on the CPU, with stable wifi performance as well. Installed status bar mod that's available on the dev forum which adds shortcuts to the status bar.

I like Nookie Froyo because I'm able to get flash working on it. As of right now its the most useful to me of all the options until CM7's fully developed and HC beyond that.

I haven't tried CM7 on eMMC but have tried it on microSD and it's way too sensitive on the screen sensitivity for my taste. Makes typing a chore. Most likely the newer kernels have improved this though.
[Nook Color General] Hiro666:
I can't say enough about Nookie Froyo. I have it installed to the EMMC with the latest status bar hack. It is really close to perfect for me. Honestly, I don't do a ton with my NC. Surf the 'net, Tweetdeck, Pulse and Gmail make up 99% of my use. I can do all of those without fault (though I do suffer sometimes launching WiFi after a reboot but from sleep - no problems). I also need to try the Ad-Hoc fix so I can tether to my rooted Droid 2 but it isn't a priority.

The work that has gone into this ROM has been astounding to me and it is so very close for primetime. Love it!
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
i use stock rom, but i would use nookie froyo but im scared im going to mess something else because i dont know how to burn the image to sd.
[Nook Color General] buzz killington:
Running stock rooted, mostly because I like the status/navigation bar in the stock rom. I did try and install rom manager and recovery, and it stuck and boot to recovery all the time. Luckily I found a file to remove it, but I don't think I'll be flashing anything for a while.

The stock rom does most of what I need anyway, I don't much care for flash. I'm only hoping for honeycomb now.
[Nook Color General] painter_:
CM7 because Honeycomb is not available.
[Nook Color General] jlt220:

Im running stock 2.1 from my autonooter it does everything that i actually need like doc to go youtube and all my 16bit emulators run great also it impresses everyone i show it all my apps look great on it so ill just wait until they figure out froyo or gingerbread in autonooter format its th safest and easiest to install
[Nook Color General] ryanmcdonald:
CM7 nightlies and dalgrins OC kernels.

For me eclair was lame. I was tracking NookieFroyo but when I saw that its primary dev (cicadaman) was abandoning his creation to contribute to CM7, I moved to CM7. I took the plunge and blew away my eMMC and all is great! (I still use NF068 as a flasher when I want to dd something into the eMMC). CM7 is *almost* perfect at this point. BTW newbies, its almost impossible to brick your Nook. DD'ing stock back on to your eMMC is child's play.
[Nook Color General] TJNooker:
I'm running Froyo because (in no particular order):

I broke gmail in rooted Eclair and had to restore to stock so I figured I might as well upgrade to Froyo while I'm at it

Changing LauncherPro shortcuts was painful in rooted Eclair

Froyo has better memory management than Eclair

A stable build of CM7 isn't out yet

A stable build of Honeycomb isn't out yet
[Nook Color General] sqs1shu:
CM7 nightly because I am using CM7 on Nexus One for nice features and up to date ROM.
[Nook Color General] acwyau:
I'm a newbie with the nook, I just got it a couple of days ago, but I have done a fair amount of experimenting. I have tried rooted stock, Nookie Froyo, Honeycomb, and CM7. So far, Nookie Froyo off of the eMMC works best for me. I want to use the Nook as part of job everyday (I'm in field sales), so it needs to be responsive and stable. I also like to watch videos a lot and need great video performance. I also use launcher pro and have my Nook set up to mirror the setup on my phone.

CM7 is a great user experience, but the choppy video is a deal breaker for me.

Honeycomb looks to be a great option in the near future when the source code becomes available and I'm looking forward to that.
[Nook Color General] ylixir:
rooted stock in emmc, cm7 on sd card.

Stock is stable, video works. The rooted keyboard is hoooorrible though, even worse than the default.

CM7 has a better keyboard, even without attaching my apple keyboard with bluetooth. After attaching it though...so much better, even as glitchy as it is.

So stock for consuming content, CM7 for producing it.

Probably switch to CM7 full time once the video kinks and the sleep kinks are worked out.
[Nook Color General] acme2ajax:
Stock on emmc and CM7 on sdcard....will like to update to the latest build though.....
[Nook Color General] Iucas:
eMMC: Rooted stock eclair, I still need the kid books feature.

uSD: CM7 nightlies. This is really good to try.
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
I'm running Nookie Froyo for eMMC. Nearly everything I need works fine, it's fast and stable. The only noticeable issue is WiFi reconnection time after waking Nook, but it's tolerable.
[Nook Color General] TheXclusive814:
Thanks everyone for their input. I was surpised to see alot of people running rooted stock and nookie froyo. I excepted more Phiremod and CM7 nightlies.
[Nook Color General] TheXclusive814:
Are themed for Nookie Froyo? Looking at the screenshots, I dont want white notification bar
[Nook Color General] ironman_troop:
Ettc Honeycomb

I flashed my NC with ettc Honeycomb... I love it... is fast and responsive. There are still few glitch.. my youtube didn't work...

But loving it so far.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
I'm Running Nookie Froyo off of a 4gb class 6 MicroSD.

Nookie Froyo is the most Stable ROM next to Stock and running it off of a MicroSD allows me to Run anything I want without touching Stock. Therefor I can access all the NookColor Apps and recieve updates without worrying that I'll loose my Root or something.

Also because it's on a MicroSD performing Backups/Restores, Updates, and other Advanced Mods are easier since I can access all the Data directly on a PC just by putting the Card in a card reader. Flashing Images to and From the Card on a PC is a whole lot Faster than doing it on the Nook.

Plus since it's Froyo I can use Flash and other more recent Apps.

If I want to Boot (Unrooted)Stock I have a uBoot Mod on the Card so Holding Home at Boot boots Stock, or I can simply Remove the Card and it's like I never did anything to my Nook.

Running Phiremod 5.1. Fast, great battery life, 95% functional. I say 95% because YouTube still isn't smooth, but another program TubeXL app works great as a YouTube substitute. Just wish the system would give it as an option when choosing the default player. But, that's a minor inconvenience and Phiremod 5.1 is snappy, animated, and very impressive. Practically no forced closes on anything. Wifi for me works perfectly coming out of semi-sleep state. I leave wifi on all the time and it automatically picks up free hotspots wherever I am (home, Starbucks, my EVO phone). BTW, ordered a Viewsonic GTab off woot.com yesterday for $279.99. Unbelievable sale! Gonna root it immediately and wait for HoneyComb 3.0. It's got a Tegra Processor and should rock with HC. But, still love my NookColor and gonna keep it to use everyday too!
[Nook Color General] bionictoothpick:
I'm running the HC v4 off of the uSD.

It's not as quick for me as Froyo, but I like the interface and can put up with the slight lag.

The browser and interface seems superior. The speed of Wifi is much faster for me.

Looking forward to AOSP like many I'm sure.
[Nook Color General] MedLine:
CM7 nightlies. Heads and shoulders above Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 in terms of smoothness and overall performance, although I have to admit I was pretty happy with Froyo as well. Standby battery drain in CM7 sucks (1-2% per hour), but why drive a Honda Civic when you can go with a Ferrari.
[Nook Color General] darx:
The ferarri had all its seats ripped out and is uncomfortable to drive.

If you can't tell I use nookie froyo. Every other rom is just too unstable.

Here's hoping for an official froyo update or honeycomb aosp. . :(
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
ditto - i love me my cm7

- bluetooth gps booyah

[Nook Color General] msung330:
Can you post some insight on the BT GPS? I didn't realize we could tether to BT GPS pucks, or are you talking about something different?
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
I am using TetherGPS and wifi tether and my d2g so I can use Google nav on my nook color.

Works great: 165 mile trip the other day and not a glitch. Nav is much nicer on the big screen. :)

Note that I was able to pair a garmin bluetooth gps puck with the nook, but while figuring out how to get that working I found TetherGPS. Need the phone for map data with Google nav anyway so why mess with a third device. I quit trying.

I've tried all of the aforementioned roms but like the stability of stock. I can watch YouTube on demand, Slingbox works fairly well, & I can keep all of the stock B&N eReader functionality.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
I understand wanting stock ereader functionality. I expect that will be in their nook app Soon(tm) though.

I run CM7 because I need bluetooth. I want to play games with this fancy new Wii remote, use my bluetooth keyboard, and eventually stereo headphones (when they work out the range.)

I also expect hardware video accel will be working correctly soon in CM7.

IMO, cm7 is the only way to go for a tablet user.
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
Yes with cm7 I can connect my $35 Bluetooth GPS to my nook using the free Bluetooth GPS Provider app

Works with Google maps and navigation but that needs a wifi connection. I just bought a $5 app called copilot which downloads the map to the nook so u don't need wifi while driving

Rooted stock

I'm running rooted stock (autonooter 3.0) because:

- I bought the NC primarily to use as an e-reader. I knew you could root it before I bought it, that's part of the reason I did, but that's just extras for me so that with my Droid 2 Global and my rooted NC I'm set. The stock functionality could be improved but I really like the magazines and kids books and I'm waiting for the interactive cookbooks that are supposed to be up and running with the new B&N update to 2.2.

- I'm not a techie so I don't jump into this stuff easily. With all the great advice and directions on these boards I am learning so much but I'm nowhere near the level of most of you. I wanted to try something else like CM7 or Honeycomb but I'd still be reading about it and I just wanted to root already.

- I love that you can boot off a microSD card so I'm thinking about trying something else that way. Gotta read more though!

Now I'm waiting to see what the B&N update will be like next month. I'll either stick with what I have or unroot and re-root when the next autonooter comes out.
[Nook Color General] TheXclusive814:
Thanks for all the votes and replies. I decided to run the cm7 nightlies.

I went from stock to Nookie Froyo and then onto CM7 to get the status bar buttons, but the same day I did that, the status bar hack for NF hack came out and I haven't bothered to go back as yet. It doesn't seem like NF has a very active development path...is the wifi looping/flakiness still an issue?
[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
Tried every single rom. Currently running nightly CM7. Because of the following:

Bluetooth -GPS-Keyboard-Wiimote

Full market access to all apps (no other rom has allowed me full access no matter what I do, other roms will only give you more apps unlike CM7's all apps)

Google Earth

Overall pretty stable

Has a lot of devs working on it and is constantly updated
[Nook Color General] sc37:
Not really...you just need to flash back to an old kernel and it works just fine. Granted you lost the interactive governor, but it's not that big of a deal.

I tried customized froyo, and didnt like the soft buttons, and dont know how to configure the hard buttons like the other rom. I like the startup manager of xboxexperts rom as well. it has the option to go back to stock. I'm running 1.1 and it's been very stable.

looks like he's going the cm7 route though. I'm plenty happy with his froyo version.

CM7 and Video Bluetooth

Did someone say that as long as you use a bluetooth headset with CM7 playing videos a MP4 movie plays just fine? I'm a bit confused. Thanks for any help.

Warren
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
THIS.

It's extremely stable and comes overclocked "out of the box". It literally took me 20 minutes to flash this, and most of that was spent putting the image on the SD card.

It will take a LOT to make me use something else. I still don't know why this ROM isn't available here. It would have saved me literally two days of frustration.
[Nook Color General] drvenom123:
I'm using the stock rom. I'm tempted to use CM7, but I think I might wait until there is a final release.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Now that a CM7 build with working video exists, its not too long before that is the best ROM bar none.
[Nook Color General] ZapBranagann:
I'd highly recommend CM7 they now have video working beautifully and Bluetooth is a work in progress but already has some functionality.

I don't think there are any features missing from cm7 that nookie has?
